Out of all of our Y15 horses, Irony is always the first one to greet you with an excitable nicker. She has always been curious about everything that is going on around her, and seems to be the most relaxed out of our Y15 horses. Although she's incredibly audible, nickering consistently and snorting up a storm, she's very manageable and easy to handle. She is light on her feet and it almost seems as she's keen on watching where she places her feet as she steps with utmost precision when being led or under saddle.
When training is over and she is given the chance to be in the paddock with other fillies her age, she becomes a different horse. This filly will immediately ditch that quiet, well-mannered goody-goody-two shoes attitude and become this energetic speed demon that races her own shadow on the fence-line and kicks up turf into the faces of any horses who try to catch up to her in her insane game of tag. When night falls and it's time to bring her back into the barn, good luck catching her out in the field, the turf is her kingdom after all.

PROGENY
RACE RECORD - FINAL RECORD Y20
After watching several videos of Comeuppance's runs, we've learned that Irony's racing style practically mimics that of her father's. As they say, the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. She has a point of charging into the head of the pack, ravenous for that lead position. When horses try to pass her, she gets bothered by it and will work that much harder to keep ahead, even if it's by only a whisker. Irony is a fighter and seems to be quite durable, being able to push herself even when it seems like she's ready to give. She is a horse who is extremely competitive and aggressive towards other horses, it's what is in her heart. Even on the home track, she won't even allow a horse to pass her after hitting the finish line, believing that the race is never over until she wins.
During her debut on the track in Year 17, she participated in 7 starts before suffering from a slight bone fracture in her left fore which resulted in her being pulled up and placing 5th in the Borrego Handicap. The filly had been doing well in races, having only placed out of the money one other time. Trainer John Murchison had considered retiring the filly altogether as she had seemed to be somewhat off he game but the veterinarian insisted that she would be able to return to her top form come next spring. One thing that will pay off is that the filly will be given a few extra months to mature mentally and physically before returning to the track in Year 18.
